Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of sonographically identifying, measuring, and constructing nomograms of the fetal petrous bone, the part of the temporal bone that houses the auditory apparatus.

Methods: A total of 248 consecutive pregnant women between 14 and 40 weeks' gestation were included. During a routine scan using transvaginal or transabdominal sonography, the fetal head was assessed in transverse sections.

Objective: To assess three-dimensional placental volume measurement and three-dimensional power Doppler (3D-PD) indices between 10 weeks and 6 days and 13 weeks and 6 days in predicting pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and small for gestational age (SGA).

Methods: Three hundred and eight women undergoing fetal nuchal translucency measurement were prospectively assessed using three-dimensional ultrasound in order to measure placental volume and 3D-PD indices: vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularization flow index (VFI), using the VOCAL software. The outcome was scored as normal, PIH, SGA or both.

Purpose: To compare gestational sac (GS) volume (GSV) between normal pregnancies and missed abortions and anembryonic pregnancies and to determine at what gestational age differences in GS volume become evident. METHODS.: GSV in missed abortion and anembryonic pregnancy were measured using three-dimensional ultrasound and the results were compared with GSV in normal pregnancies.

Objective: To measure and determine normal values of the fetal eyeball volume between 14 and 40 weeks of gestation.

Methods: The volume of the fetal eyeball was measured with three-dimensional ultrasound between 14 and 40 weeks of gestation using the VOCAL software.Only singleton pregnancies without fetal growth restriction, diabetes mellitus, hypertension or major fetal malformation were included.
